I use "character" in the same way that the Unicode Consortium uses the word. Though "code point" would be more precise.

That's what they were hoping for. Didn't tuen out thst way. From icu-project.org:
"As with glyphs, there is no one-to-one relationship between characters and code points. What an end-user thinks of as a single character (grapheme) may in fact be represented by multiple code points; conversely, a single code point may correspond to multiple characters."
